You could set up a proportion to figure out the anwer. 15 hurdles/60%=X hurdles/100%. Cross multiply, 1500=60x. Divide by 60, 25=X=total amount of hurdles. Hope this helps!

The width of a rectangular field is 20 feet less than its length. The area of the field is 12,000 ft? What is the length of the
Scilla [17]

Answer:

The answer is 120 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the field (A) is:

A = w · l       (w - width, l - length)

It is known:

A = 12,000 ft²

l = w - 20

So, let's replace this in the formula for the area of the field:

12,000 = w · (w - 20)

12,000 = w² - 20

⇒ w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0

This is quadratic equation. Based on the quadratic formula:

ax² + bx + c = 0      ⇒  

In the equation w² - 20w - 12,000 = 0, a = 1, b = -20, c = -12000

Thus:

So, width w can be either

or

Since, the width cannot be a negative number, the width of the field is 120 feet.
